What do you think about ATHEISM and DEISM, etc? Why do you think these beliefs exist?

I was a  Christian until my mid-twenties. It took a little time to shake off the childhood conditioning. For the past fifty-odd years I've been an atheist.

Believing that "there must be a god" to have created the Universe places us in exactly the same place as the ancients who lacked the knowledge and modern education needed to understand why things are as they are. They attributed them to gods, sprites, fairies, and all manner of ghostly ghoulies. There are still things we don't know, of course, but we're getting closer all the time.

But being an atheist doesn't mean we can't also explore the spiritual side of our nature. I could list a whole string of personal experiences that defy explanation (sorry gang, "coincidence" and "self-delusion" go only so far) and which indicate that there may be something beyond the physical. It's one of the intriguing questions.

Those who prefer to believe in a guy-in-the-sky-who-grants-wishes certainly have plenty of candidates to choose from. For instance, in Iceland they've just built a temple to the old Norse gods. And why not? They're as valid as any other.

Because a lot of people can't or won't grasp the thought of Christianity or the Bible. I'm not a Christian myself. I'm a Shintoist and it's more Buddhism like. I see people argue about these things all the time. Shintoism is more theist than anything else. We believe in a different way of life. Those that believe in nothing have a lot to learn.

I think atheist is the strangest of them all they don't believe in anything.They think we just came into the world without creation, but I can't blame them a little sometimes I feel like I'm agnostic even though I'm a Christian

Something can't come from nothing, this is true, but I believe our interpretation of how the universe could've been created is completely misinterpreted, thinking there is a place like heaven and hell. In the real world nothing is perfect as well imperfect. To think that in afterlife there is a certain destiny for wrongdoers and right-doers based on karmic theory isn't realistic. As far as intergalactic, divine beings creating the universe goes this is more plausible going back to the basis of 'something can't come from nothing'. Unless the Big Bang theory is true. But even with theories like quantum physics and space-time travel (even though time doesn't exist) there is loops and things that don't match up

There is something's that we will never ,In any of our lifetimes, be able to interpret with great comprehension as a people but, Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Allah could be a symbol for divine beings that created these scientific occupancies and loopholes that created the universe. Through possible evolution, physics and equations. Idk just a theory anyhow.

ATHEISM is the default we are all born with.

Nobody is born believing in a deity or religion - you have to be taught that.

Most Atheists ... If they were given actual scientific evidence of a deity - they would accept it, and believe in that deity.  Basically, they refuse to believe in a deity on faith alone.

All knowledge is learning, therefore good.
